Brother SE700 Sewing and Embroidery Machine, Wireless LAN Connected, 135 Built-in Designs, 103 Built-in Stitches, Computerized, 4" x 4" Hoop Area, 3.7" Touchscreen Display, 8 Included Feet, White

I got the Brother SE700 for Christmas to make my own American Girl doll clothes, and I absolutely love it 🪡💖 This is my first sewing machine ever, and it was incredibly easy to assemble and start using right away. The sewing stitches are smooth, the embroidery feature is easy to navigate, and the touchscreen makes everything feel simple—even for a beginner. I was sewing confidently within days! It’s quiet, well-made, and has so many helpful features like the automatic needle threader. If you’re a beginner or want one machine that does both sewing and embroidery, this is a fantastic choice. 5 stars for sure! 🌟

I had high ambitions to buy a much more expensive machine but just couldn't afford it. I settled on this machine and thought the embroidery function would be nice to have. I was absolutely blown away by the quality of this little machine. I use mine for mini quilts, mending clothes, and miscellaneous sewing. I have dabbled with the embroidery functions but I'm still learning that. Compared to my Singer machine from 20 years ago, holy cow. This machine is by far superior. Yes, I know, I'm comparing it to a much older machine but it was "entry level" as well. I absolutely love the speed control, needle down option, automatic needle threader, and the ability to automatically cut the thread. This machine has handled everything I've thrown at it without any issues. I was thoroughly impressed with the motor and how well this little machine handles thick quilt sandwiches. I'm not sure but I believe it has a separate motor for the bobbin winder? Don't quote me on that, maybe double check that but it sounds like it does. Brother thought of everything when designing this machine, down to even the bobbin winder having a thread holder/cutter. The drop in bobbin setup is awesome because it cuts the thread to the proper length it needs. The screen is crisp and easy to read. I performed a software update and it went flawlessly. I really like that they have you download it to a USB thumb drive then install from there. Less of a chance to brick the machine with a bad software update if your wifi drops. The screen is also very responsive to touch and everything is easy to find. The embroider function and available designs out of the box are pretty neat. You can also use the Artspira app to add more designs and transfer them over wifi to your machine. Very cool! You can even transfer your own designs you make or purchase from other shops into the app to transfer them to the machine. Of course you can also just use a USB thumb drive to load designs onto the machine if you'd like. This machine is amazing and I hope to get many years of use out of it. My only complaint is the throat space. Obviously you're not going to be making huge quilts with this machine unless you really like trying to squeeze huge rolls of fabric through the small throat space. You could probably get away with making throw quilts but don't expect this to fully accommodate sewing a king-size quilt obviously. All in all, I fully recommend this machine to anyone. If you're a beginner, it is super beginner friendly.

So I've had this machine for over a year and finally writing a review. I am a self taught when it comes to sewing but I have done a lot of things. This is my 3rd sewing machine because I really wanted to ability to embroider but I thought my other machine was just fine, it was on the nicer side of options at the time but that cant even compair to this one. I love the easy touch screen setting and easy bobbin acess and rethreading. I personally dont use the needle self threading because I had a hard time trying to get it to work, so I just rethread it myself (proably my only major issue with this machine). So great for sewing honestly. Now the embroidery element is just fine, it works well and I've created my own patterns but it definitely cant do anything extremely fancy in my experience (maybe its a skill issue) but it does a fine enough job that I still love it and its good enough for the price. So if you want this for embodery only, its a fine choice but honestly the sewing element is definitely what makes it worth the price.

I adore this machine! It has been very user friendly and has helped me to start my own business. It is reliable and with the help of the manual, I have been able to learn each new vocabulary word that has come with the sewing world. It does not take up too much space and is light weight as I take it in and out of my craft closet.

Disappointed that you have to pay for the embroidery portion but overall my wife loves it

Not to be dramatic, but this machine has changed my life. Finally a hobby that I enjoy and it has turned into a pretty productive side hustle. I am not tech savvy but it was so easy to set up and learn how to use. 10/10 recommend for a beginner machine

I am writing this review with immense disappointment and frustration regarding my recent experience with the Brother sewing machine I purchased in April 2023. Due to some unexpected family emergencies, I was unable to unbox the machine until August 2023, at which point my troubles began. Upon attempting to use the sewing machine, I encountered a critical issue – the needle broke on my very first attempt. After investigating further, it became evident that the presser foot holder was crooked and bent, rendering the machine unusable. I was shocked and dismayed by the poor craftsmanship of the product. Seeking assistance, I promptly reached out to Brother's customer service, hoping they would address the defect in their product. Unfortunately, my hopes were quickly dashed as I encountered an unhelpful and indifferent attitude from their representatives. To my disbelief, they not only refused to provide assistance but directed me to a sewing machine retailer for resolution. The situation only worsened when I approached the recommended retailer with the hopes of getting the warranty honored and obtaining a replacement part. Regrettably, their response mirrored Brother's, as they outright dismissed my concerns and refused to honor the warranty for a product that had a glaring manufacturing defect. Their solution? "You have a warranty, ship it back!". Contacted Brother again only to get the same response as before. This lack of accountability and customer support was utterly disheartening. Seeing no other option, I escalated the matter to Amazon, the platform through which I had made the purchase. I anticipated that Amazon's renowned customer service would come to my rescue, but to my astonishment, I was met with a similar level of apathy. They, too, were unresponsive to my plea for assistance and failed to uphold the integrity of the transaction. It is profoundly disappointing that in a situation where all I needed was a single replacement part to rectify a manufacturing flaw, I have been met with a wall of indifference and non-cooperation. This entire experience has been incredibly frustrating, time-consuming, and emotionally draining. I entrusted my hard-earned money to Brother, the sewing machine retailer, and Amazon, only to be left high and dry with a defective product and no avenue for resolution. I strongly caution anyone considering purchasing a Brother sewing machine based on my nightmarish experience. Not only is the product quality questionable, but the abysmal customer service provided by both Brother and the involved retailers is inexcusable. As a consumer, I deserve better treatment and support, and I hope my review serves as a warning to others about the potential pitfalls of dealing with these companies.

I’m absolutely in love with my Brother sewing and embroidery machine!! I haven’t tried the embroidery part yet. I’m going to start teaching myself soon. But the machine is beautiful and works beautifully!! It easy to use. The set up is simple. There’s so much to learn about the system because it’s real fancy. I love it!!
